Top-Down Management

Top-Down Management is a leadership approach where decisions are made by upper management and then communicated down through the organization. In this model, executives or managers set goals, strategies, and directives, which are then implemented by lower-level employees. This method emphasizes a clear hierarchy and structure, with authority concentrated at the top. While it can streamline decision-making and maintain consistency, it may also limit input from lower-level staff, potentially leading to disengagement if employees feel their perspectives are not considered.
